YABU, people can use it however they like. Who made you the LinkedIn police?

Seeleyboo · 23/09/2021 22:31

I don't think i would take anyone on this platform seriously as potential clients etc if there were family snaps.

I'm getting bored of LinkedIn turning into Facebook. I don't care about your dog dying or your baby being born, or that you once gave a job to the person who was two hours late but it turned out they'd crawled all the way due to a broken leg so you gave them the job and now he's your top salesman.

Yes, I hate the increasing Facebook-ification of LinkedIn too. Tedious shite invading what was a professional network.

YANBU and I only see this kind of thing from people who don't seem to be that professionally successful.

Do some idiots really not know the difference between LinkedIn and Facebook? What a fecking dork.

Michelle Mone is the worst ..

She treats it like Facebook

JacquelineCarlyle · 24/09/2021 00:05

Totally agree Op (& also in particular about Michelle Mone).

I'm also hating the photos of someone as a child saying 'This girl ...' and then it's a whole tale of woe and triumph over adversity. Driving me crazy currently as it seems to be every other post!

Casual dress against a wall with algae. Christ. It's a professional platform, well was. Just insert a professional photo, looking as you would arrive at work.

BasicDad · 25/09/2021 12:30

Pictures of your breakfast and over shares on your personal life are a bit much, but I like some of the human side of LinkedIn.

titchy · 25/09/2021 12:33

Oh dear - just scrolled on my phone and thought this was someone's LinkedIn photo ShockGrin
